[clue-tech] troubles installing .jar??

[Mike Bean]

Hey everyone, I apologize I can't just ask around on tuesday, but my boss at
work moved my schedule again, I won't be getting back into Denver until an
hour too late.

I've been messing around with a utility I found that's of some interest.
findrepe
http://www.softenido.com/search/label/findrepe

trouble is, it's a .jar,  and I don't have allot of experience dealing with
apps I couldn't install with apt-get.

>>> After some reading and following the following instructions:

-Decompress it using the command

unzip findrepe-0.9.0.zip

Install the launcher with one of the following commands
java -jar findrepe-0.9.0/FindRepe.jar --install
java -jar findrepe-0.9.0/FindRepe.jar --install-home
sudo java -jar findrepe-0.9.0/FindRepe.jar --install-home=/opt/jdk1.6

>>> I ended up with this.

@fozzie:~/Downloads$ sudo java -jar findrepe-0.10.0/FindRepe.jar
--install-home=/opt/jdk1.6
findrepe: '/usr/bin/findrepe' created
@fozzie:~/Downloads$ man findrepe
No manual entry for findrepe
See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.
@fozzie:~/Downloads$ findrepe
/usr/bin/findrepe: 2: /opt/jdk1.6/bin/java: not found

or absence of java, but here's the part that has me confused.

Honestly, I'm kind of clueless as to how to even approach this problem.  I
suppose I shouldn't have been quite so enthusiastic to try out apps, but my
computer is carefully backed up in case I end up having to reload it.
Thought I'd ping the clue-list and ask for advice or suggestions that people
are willing to give.  Thanks!
